KITCHEN PLANNING
Discover the finest kitchens in Exeter, plus free design appointments and expert assistance! Check out our step-by-step guide for designing your dream kitchen below. Let's dive in and explore the essential steps and ideas!

STEP ONE
KITCHEN BUDGETING & PLANNING
Let's dive in! Grab paper and pen to jot down your thoughts. Notes help you recall and chat with your designer.
First, jot down your 'must-haves'. What's your kitchen dream? Worried about budget? No sweat. Our team guides you in balancing later. Share your wishes, like a door color, wine cabinet, or hot water tap.
Now, set your kitchen budget. Costs vary, but EKS kitchens start from £3,000. Pick a comfy number. Our designers help you stay on track, blending in those 'must-haves' whenever possible.

STEP 2
KITCHEN INSPIRATION
Time to let your creativity flow! Dive into brochures, Pinterest, and Google for kitchen inspiration. Share ideas – the more, the merrier! Our goal is a kitchen that reflects you.
Stay updated on trends, but feel free to add your twist. Grey's been trendy, with blue catching up. Neutrals and bolds coexist. EKS loves timeless Oak or white cabinets, pairing with any door colour.
Minimalist or classic shaker? Consider your home's vibe. Let's define your dream kitchen!

Annoyed with your current kitchen? Best way to optimise you kitchen is with a 'working triangle'.

Island space?
